Refrain:
Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
But As I journey through the land, singing as I go,
Pointing souls to Calvary—to the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
But my Lord leads me on, through Him I must win.

Refrain:
Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.


When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
But I’ll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;
Satan’s snares may vex my soul, turn my thoughts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate’er betide.
When in valleys low I look toward the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched toward the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.
When before me billows rise from the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on through this world below;
He’s a real Friend to me, oh, I love Him so.

I don't see this as a depressing song in the least. What is depressing about acknowledging that life brings us trouble sometimes, but God is a friend and brings us comfort in those times? What is depressing about loving a friend and wanting to see that friend very badly?

The chourus has nothing to do with the verses.
The writer mangles the lyrics just to get them to rhyme.
Reading the lyrics are worse than singing them.
It's a cheesy song.
It's #1 on Jack Kevorkian's playlist.

Oh I Want To See Him is the worst song of any genre.
Most depressing song in the world.

A close second is the One-God-Tongue-Talking-Apostolic song. A person has to be able to speak in tongues in order to sing that song.

Great for emotionalism when you have nothing else to offer, and mindless lemmings to follow along.

Everyboday say, "Hey" say "Ho" now Scream!!!

How 'bout this one: "I DARE you to worship God!!" Huh?

I like 'I'm a one-God Apostolic'! As a kid's song. One that we'd have fun sitting around singing faster and faster and faster!!! Until we collapsed in a pile laughing at how tangled our tongues were getting.

As a song to sing in church, that'd be weird.

The worst song ever is "If God Should Choose".

"If God should choose, I could lose everything in a moment's time. All I have belongs to him, anyway."

SERIOUSLY???????

Sung in this sad, depressed voice.

I HATE THAT SONG!!

As if God is sitting up in heaven going - "Nah, nah, nah-nah-nah!!!"

Of course we all know that God owns everything, and that we owe everything to him, but seriously! Most depressing, non-edifying song on the planet!!

If you've never heard of it, consider yourself blessed.

This isn't about the McGruders. It's about the song. And the song is brutal. It's a cheap, surfacy, "I'm-better-than-you-because-I'm-loud", self-righteous, worthless piece of "music". I don't know who wrote the song and I don't care.

"I went to visit a church, it was quiet as it could be"
•What's wrong with that? Some of my greatest spiritual encounters have been in the silence of hearing the still, small voice of God.

"Nobody was praising the Lord"
•How the heck do you know??? Praise is something that happens for God Almighty, not so someone can watch and issue their approval!! Praise is in the silence as well! Praise happens when I treat the waitress well, when I'm considerate in traffic, when I'm cordial to the neighbor.

"Nobody but me"
•Well flippin' bully for you. Is this all about YOU?? You're better than everyone else? What a joke.

"But when I come to church I don't just come to take up space."
•And everyone else does? Wow, you really are impressed with yourself, aren't you? I'm thankful for every person who attends our church who "takes up space". It's an opportunity for them to have an encounter with God.

We are Able to Go Up and Take the country. To possess the land from Jordan to the Sea - Though the giants may be there our way to hinder, God will surely give the victory...

Now....... Regarding the I'm a Pentecostal song..... It certainly isn't my favorite, but I don't understand all of you that dislike it so much. I know for a fact that it sold may copies (single and full album) - a much requested song. My greatest problem with it is the line.... "we've cranked up the music" :pullhair That is my problem with most churches! :girlytantrum

Stop and think about it: There are Vertical songs (those sang TO the Lord and glorifying Him) Then there are Horizontal songs - (those that are to explain or tell a story to others) - This happens to be a horizontal song that very much explains us ...

As I remember, you are from CLC so I figured you would defend this tragic piece of lyrical demagoguery. You said you don't like the line, "We've cranked up the music." But Sweet Pea, that's the entirety of the problem, here. It's "We this", "We that", "I do this", "I do that", "Me, me, me, me, me, me, me." "Please everyone notice me". Ugh.

It sold a lot of albums? I'm sure Than is happy about that. Requested? Whoopty-doo. It's a song that helps pentecostals deal with their insecurities by bragging about how good they think they are.
